Luella

“We’ve been to several steakhouses around Atlanta, and tonight was our first time trying Luella for my husband’s birthday — and it absolutely lived up to the hype. From the atmosphere to the service, everything felt elevated and thoughtfully done. The steak was cooked perfectly, tender and full of flavor. The black cod was rich, buttery, and melted in my mouth. The highlight of the night was definitely the Wagyu Beef Carpaccio; it was incredibly delicate, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Tiramisu was perfect! The coffee and cocoa flavors shine through beautifully, while the subtle hint of alcohol adds a wonderful depth to every bite. A special thank you to our waitress, Ms. Katie, who made the experience even more memorable with her attentiveness and excellent service. Buckhead has no shortage of great dining spots, but Luella definitely stands out. We’re so glad we chose it to celebrate my husband’s birthday and already look forward to coming back.”

“The service was outstanding, our host Sydney was fantastic, and the food was excellent! The only minor issue was when we stopped by the bar before being seated; it took a bit longer than expected to get a drink, especially since it wasn’t busy and there were several bartenders available. Aside from that, everyone who came to our table was warm, kind, and polite. Overall, the hospitality was truly top-notch”

“Great first time experience at Luella. My party was running a little late so I sat by the bar and had a drink while I waited. Bar was lovely and bartender was very nice and made a great drink. Khalid our server was wonderful! He was very attentive, answered all our questions and was very knowledgeable. Will definitely dine at Luella again. HIGHLY recommend the cornbread and caviar.”

“Such an incredible evening spent at Luella celebrating the opening of Buckhead's newest dining jewel! Walking in the door, we were blown away by the elegant design & color drenched atmosphere, every attention to detail is thoughtfully curated! Truly, a stellar & magical experience from the out of the world small plates to our main courses & sides to share, then onto to desserts! Not to be missed is their gorgeous bar & the crafted margaritas, best I've ever had! Luella is just what this city needed to bring back the ART of fine dining in an extraordinarily mouth watering and artful style! Every dish was a standout from this creative and decadent menu, so hard to make the decision on what to save for next time! Our server Kai (and his team) was not only attentive and professional, he delivered with excellence in his table side manner, recommendations and knowledge of each dish! Where to start: Don't sleep on the small plates! Decadent Italian cheese Pugliese Burrata, braised beef Wagyu croquettes, melt in your mouth smoked chili butter crab cakes, and the rosemary focaccia with nocellara olive oil... ALL outstanding! We then moved onto the incredible spicy lobster rigatoni with vodka sauce, the crisp ceasar salad & the Luella salad with charred scallion + benne seed dressing to share! Every bite better than the last, on all 3!! Main course & sides to share: we were ready to get into the rock stars of the menu, the steaks! 3 of us has the mouth watering 12oz Luella signature bone in filet cooked to perfection and 1 had the unbelievable 20oz bone in ribeye! We shared gouda fries, white balsamic glaze brussel sprouts, cultured butter whipped potatoes and the Marsala glazed wild mushrooms! WoW, each extraordinary and not to be missed! We closed out the evening (even though we were full to the brim) with another margarita ;) and shared the gorgeous bananas foster cheesecake & delicious chocolate and pistachio budino Italian custard. Both straight out of the clouds! THANK you Luella... for bringing your vision to fruition, for such an amazing night to slow down, connect with family, take our taste buds to the stars and to share in the joy & creative artistry of Chef Stuart making his magic in the cuisine of his dreams! ♥ Bravo, well done from start to finish! 1000/10! Looking forward to our next visit soon! xo”
